General delineation

The current Jupiter – Saturn cycle (chart of the cycle is the picture below) has the following characteristics:

- the current series of Jupiter – Saturn conjunctions in earth signs started in 1802; the current cycle (2000 – 2020) is the last from that earth series; a series in the earth signs like this one symbolise material growth, industrial development, material issues;

- the current cycle started with the dot – com bubble, recovered quickly, but at the opposition entered in a major depression;

- the Dot – com bubble when the NASDAQ stock crashed in March 10, 2000. After many traditional companies moved on the internet to rise their business and equity value without to consider the basic economic laws, the bubble collapsed during 2000 – 2001 and many companies failed; the economy recovered quickly and started to rise again;
